the helmet plate looks really poorly defined, is it cast ?

The liner is too big for the helmet. Look at all the extra folds.

The helmet body appears to be a modern copy that's been left to rust for a while.

One more of these awful UK made repros

US $692.00
There's a sucker born every minute.

It's still a lot of money for a repro of course but I expected more than $692

Again, the liner:......notice the little filaments on the edges of the fingers where they were cut? You don't see those on a 100 yr old liner. I would also speculate that the flesh side is a grey colour and therefore, modern.
